Companionship wanted: Sosina's chess and a cup of tea
An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Sosina is asking for.
🇪🇹 1009, Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia700 views
I'm writing for my neighbor Sosina, who's 84. Sosina lives alone in Addis Ababa, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 455 kilometers away.
Sosina loves chess, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person.
All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity.
No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Bezawit. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
keep going, Bezawit. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Davao City donated after I showed her your page
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. All the best.
